ENGAGING YOUR LEGISLATORS
Do Your Homework
Do Your Homework
You will need to research the legislators with whom you want to build relationships.
Become familiar with the legislator's background
What is their personal history?
What political issues are important to them?
What committees do they serve on?
What's their voting record?
Who supports this candidate by endorsing or donating to them?
You can usually get most of this information from:
The Senator or Representative’s Public Webpage
Their House of Representatives or Senate Website
The Illinois Board of Elections Website
Local Media Coverage of your Legislators
